Lol maybe so! Haha. Its just so sad watching them struggle. The runt is staying fairly tiny compared to the rest. Will he ever look halfway caught up? He's gained about an inch in length but hasn't gotten fatter like the rest

I feel maybe I'm over worrying but the small female has me super concerned. She's bigger than the runt in height and length but you can see her hips and her shoulder blades. I have 3 smaller and 3 extremely fat. :/ I feel those 3 are getting a lot less than the rest

Hm, and you said momma's teats all have milk? None of her nipples are inverted? She could just be having trouble keeping up because she's not aggressive enough, but it's hard to be sure. How full does her belly look from the side compared to the others?

Can you give her some alone time like I would for a litter of pups? I have never raised pigs. :idunno

Pigs only let down milk so often so even if I could separate she may not have milk when I do it if that makes sense. I'll get a pic tomorrow of her from the side. She's not sgressive at all. The biggest ones are definitely the assertive ones. They are kind of bullies.
